Welcome to Bristol Bot Builders!

We're a community of combat robot builders and robot wars fans in South West England.

The group was founded by members of the University of Bristol's Electronic Engineering Society (BEEES) and University of West England's Robotics Society (RoboSoc) who have collectively ran many successful robot fighting events in Bristol for the past four years.

Now as Bristol Bot Builders (BBB), we aim to provide fun robot combat events for anyone in the South West of England area and beyond!
Come to one of our events and see what we're about, upcoming events on the events page.

We can provide workshops for schools and clubs or bring our robots to your event or show, check out our sister site Incredibots.

Smaller bots than robot wars ones?

That's right, there are four most popular sizes of fighting robot in the UK:

Antweight:

150g & 4" size

Beetleweight:

1.5kg

Featherweight:

13.6kg

Heavyweight:

110kg & on TV!

We mainly focus on events in the smaller ant and beetle classes. This is because they're cheaper and more accesible to people new to robot building.
